Beyond The Mirror Lyrics - Singles - Pain Of Salvation

[southamerican bonus track] 

[Music and Lyrics by D.Gildenlow] 

Through a dusty window I watch the clouds draw near 

A lovely vision of my doom 

The sunlight's fading - reflections start to dim 

Through the dusty window in this room 

I'm walking through my memories as I'm staring through the glass 

I have to claim I'm innocent 

Though I can't remember what I've done these past few nights 

I can't be the one that Father Kane believes I am 

I see myself now, in the dusty glass 

All wired up in this chair 

My face is foreign and my weary eyes are black 

I see myself through that stare 

Eternal alleys that lead to walls hidden behind unlocked doors 

I claim the handle, I need to see 

Even though I'll surely be afraid of what I may find... 

...beyond the mirror! 

(Inside the circle) 

I walk through mazes of cold corridors 

Searching for the core of my mind 

My heartbeats reach out to find another pulse 

That once was bound and confined 

The two different heartbeats, becoming one 

Are causing the coalescence of my soul 

A quiet outcry - a silent scream - is filling me as I am driven back 

From shadows that dwell... 

...beyond the mirror! 

(Inside the circle) 

[Hallgren/D.Gildenlow/Both/Hallgren/D.Gildenlow/Both] 

My world is frozen as I'm staring through the glass 

Gazing through the window at my memories 

Not longer foreign 

Though I somehow wish...they were 

The glowing fingers of a violent raging sky 

In search for evil find a path 

They rush through my veins, they invite my pulse to die 

They end my life with frenzied wrath 

Amidst the shadows of whisper land 

I feel that something's binding me to life 

Confined in nowhere by no ones hand 

I realize the pact is unfulfilled 

I'm trapped on the edge... 

...beyond the mirror! 

(Inside the circle)
